Lebanon Love





Little ditty about Mike and Becks May
Two gypsy kids, moving down near Tampa Bay.
Mikey's gonna be a boogie boarding star 
Becks gonna be a sea turtle saving czar. 

Suckin' on popsicles outside on the sand
Becks sittin' on Mikey's lap
He's got his hand in her hand.
Mikey says "Hey Becks let's run off 
and find some manatees, 
I know you're excited, but try not to scream!"
And Mikey says,

Oh yeah we're living by the sea
strolling hand in hand just you and me!
Oh yeah we're living by the sea
Mike and Becks, just two gypsies!



One week from today we will be hitching up our gypsy wagon and heading South. It's been an adventure the last 11 years and there's no slowing down now!

I wanted to take a minute to give a shout out to our sweet town of Lebanon, Ohio. This is my husband Mike's hometown. He grew up here and left right after high school and didn't return until he came back with me in 2013. When we came back, the town embraced him as if he'd never left. I am not surprised by that fact because Mike is such a likable person. What I didn't expect was that the people of this town would embrace me as one of their own as well. I have never once been treated as an outsider and have been accepted and loved by everyone I have met here. It's been a unique and special experience for both of us, making memories with old friends, making new lifelong friends and spending time with loved ones. We have loved every second of living here and we are going to miss it so much. But you will always be in our hearts Lebanon and you have become part of the tapestry that makes up our love story. Thank you for your love, thank you for your charm and thank you for being our home for the last 3 years!
